Corporate Philosophy

Our focus has always been on doing what is right for the client. Delivering an unmatched experience for our clients is a personal responsibility for every Associate and every employee of McEnearney Associates.

We believe we make a difference for our clients because of our Knowledge, Experience and our Results:

Knowledge

There's lots of information available to buyers and sellers alike these days, but information is not the same thing as knowledge. As market leaders in metropolitan Washington real estate since 1980, we have the in-depth knowledge of market trends, neighborhoods, builders, contracts, negotiating and a host of other things that are integral to the home buying and selling process.

Experience

Our Sales Associates average over 17 years of experience in residential real estate. They thrive on building and nurturing relationships, and providing effective solutions for their clients. We have successfully counseled tens of thousands of home sellers over the years, and all of our Associates benefit from that accumulated wisdom. Our Managing Brokers average over 25 years of experience - they've seen it all.

Results

All the tools, the knowledge, the experience are great, but results are what really matter. Getting a home sold for the most money and in the least time. We have tracked our results for the last twelve years, and we consistently sell our listings closer to the list price and in less time than the competition. And for our buyers, it's about helping them find the right house and negotiating the right price, terms and conditions.

And we've grown over the years to better meet our clients' needs. Beginning as a single office firm in Alexandria, Virginia in 1980, our array of services and our service areas have expanded because that's what our clients needed. When there was a need for business services, we created a Commercial Department to handle the commercial and retail sales and leasing needs of our clients. The nature of our marketplace means that a lot of clients move out of and back into the area, so our Property Management Department was created to handle our client's real estate assets while away from DC. And that same transient nature led to the creation of our Relocation Department to better serve our clients wherever they are headed. We've grown from one office to six because that's where our clients led us. Service was the motivation for our growth - and getting "big" was never the objective. But we've become one of the 60 largest real estate firms in the nation in sales volume.

In May 2013, the Washington Business Journal recognized McEnearney Associates as #1 among the Best Places to Work in the DC area in the “Large Companies with a Local Headquarters.” We are particularly gratified because the firms recognized were selected based on anonymous survey responses from employees. We have a community of Associates and staff who are committed to our clients, and to each other.
